Stand Up To Sharon

Dragged inThe Quagmire Called Zionism

Published on December 16, 2003 By Wahkonta Anathema In Politics

I cut my teeth on the subject of the 'New World Order' reviewing the works of 'grugyn' (now departed) whose, 'Unified Conspiracy Theory' was a refinement of the work ofLyndon LaRouche and Dr. Coleman. I never agreed with his work completely, but time has shown much of his thesis to be correct with regard to the El Khabbolot Yahudine(sic) of Israel. There is no doubt that Americans are going to have to find a desire for peace in our international dealings with Nation States other than Israel. If we don't, we will surely be slaves of not just the mammon (money), but also of the racist 'zionist' group who now control that Nation.
There are those even in Israel who oppose the genocide being perpetrated on Moslems by that Government and that is courageous. If they can oppose such policies and not be termed anti-Semite, we can as well I have a close friend who is Jewish and he is a Zionist in denial. His argument to support the actions of Israel become vociferous when we discuss world events, yet it does not alter our respect for each other's point of view to disagree, as there are many more aspects of life we do agree on.
It really isn't a crime to differ and doesn't mean you hate those you differ from to speak your point of view. I post this to let you know there are others who dis-agree with some of the actions against Moslems as racism and barbarism. This point of view should be heard more and not suppressed, so here it is. Post your comment and thank you for the read. Blog On.

Stand Up to Sharon

by Pat Buchanan

Israel is a âthunderously failed realityâ that ârests on a scaffolding of corruption, and on foundations of oppression and injustice.â Were these words spoken by an American leader, he would be denounced as an anti-Semite. But these are the words of a former speaker of the Israeli Knesset who cries for his country. âThe countdown to the end of Israeli society has begun,â writes Avraham Burg, âthe end of the Zionist enterprise is already on our doorstep.â

âIsrael, having ceased to care about the children of the Palestinians, should not be surprised when they come washed in hatred and blow themselves up in the centers of Israeli escapism.â Burg implores âDiaspora Jewsâ to âspeak out.â To little avail.

Why? Why, when a Knesset member is unintimidated, are we so silent? Why, when Ariel Sharon is dragging Americaâs good name through the mud and blood of Ramallah and Jenin, are we so tongue-tied? Did not Burke instruct us, âTo sin by silence when they should protest makes cowards out of menâ?

Israelis are speaking truth to power. Army Chief of Staff Moshe Yaalon has told Israelâs press it was Sharon who undermined Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas. Twenty-seven Israeli Air Force pilots have refused to obey âimmoral ordersâ for air strikes on âpopulated civilian centers.â

Five hundred Israeli soldiers have refused to take part in the repression. Four ex-chiefs of Shin BeitâAmi Ayalon, Carmi Gillon, Yaakov Peri, Avraham Shalomâhave charged Sharon with leading Israel to ruin. âWe are heading downhill toward near-catastrophe,â says Peri, âIf we go on living by the sword, we will continue to wallow in the mud and destroy ourselves.â

Ayalon and Palestinian academic Sari Nusseibeh have issued a declaration of principles calling for Israelâs withdrawal to her 1967 borders. Ex-Justice minister Yossi Beilin has negotiated a detailed accord with a former Palestinian minister. Colin Powell wrote a letter of support. Where is George W. Bush?

Why is he silent when Sharon has led us into a cul-de-sac from which he cannot find an exit? Why is our president letting Sharon ravage what is left of our reputation in the Arab world? Sharon promised peace and security. He has delivered war and hatred. Over 700 Israelis are dead. Some 2,500 Palestinians have died, including hundreds of children. Scores of thousands have been wounded. Homes and olive groves have been destroyed.

Yet still Sharon approves new settlements without a peep of protest from President Bush. When Howard Dean suggested that U.S. Mideast policy needed to be more âeven-handed,â he was warned by Democratic bosses never to use that term again. Why are our politicians so craven, so terrified of an Israeli lobby that does not speak for Israel, let alone for America?

Israel is in an existential crisis. Its options for survival are narrowing by the month. It can push all the Palestinians into Jordan, a monstrous crime of ethnic cleansing some on the Israeli Right are advocating. It can wall off Israel and Jerusalem and leave the Palestinians in a truncated, tiny state that will become an eternal spawning pool of terror, as Sharon is now doing.

Or it can give the Palestinians what Oslo, Camp David, Taba, the Saudi Plan, and âroad mapâ promised: a homeland.

If Israel is to remain democratic and Jewish, she must either let the West Bank, Gaza, and East Jerusalem goâor annex them all and grant Palestinians full rights as citizens in a binational state. Are Israeli Jews willing to practice in their country what American Jews preach in ours, equality and multiculturalism?

Israel is free to choose her course. But America needs a Middle East policy Made in the USA, not in Tel Avivâor at AIPAC or AEI. President Bush should restate U.S. support for the survival of Israel but also register Americaâs disgust with Sharonâs duplicitous policy of creeping annexationism and repression, while talking of peace.

Sharon should be told to vacate every settlement and outpost put up since Bush took office and to tear down any part of his new wall that encroaches on the land of the coming nation of Palestine. Else, American aid stops.

If this undermines Sharon, so much the better. If we are to preach democracy to the Arabs, let us also preach it to the regime that claims to be the only democracy in the region as it holds three million persecuted Palestinians in human bondage.

As Israelâs benefactor and guardian, we have a right to demand that our values be respected in her treatment of the Palestinians, that our vital interests always be kept in mind, as they have rarely been in 50 years.

If Mr. Burg can stand up to Sharon, why cannot Mr. Bush?
END EXCERPT

I'm Irish but the IRA doesn't dictate my vote--in fact I'm ashamed of their destructive tactics. Sharon hasn't done much for peace except to bomb the hell out of them and getting nowhere. They should've stuck to Oslo. Of course, the Palestinians are even worse in continuing their suicidal ventures of destruction--also getting them nowhere. I'm not sure binational will help. Do we really want to see a Mason-Dixon line there?

Thanks for your post. as it is, I think the line is necessary to establish sanctuary for the Palestinians as they are being systematically slaughtered under present conditions. First secure the lives of the people, then proceed to other considerations. The true story of what is occuring is not made apparent to Americans in this alien-controlled media. The first step in treatment of Israel is to expose that a racist group of religious fanatics are committing murder in the name of their God believing this being condones the killing of non-zionists; by non-zionist this means us as well, for all non-followers of these Jewish tenets are considered 'dogs' by these people. The Israeli people must be represented by leaders who do not shame the religion of their forefathers. Likewise, the Palestinians must be assured that the zone will be respected and not continuously encroached upon under this guise or that. As a aboriginal American, I can attest to the need to respect boundaries and honor.
These people are trapped in a mono-theistic delusion that leads them to commit atrocities in the name of God, believing this being will view their murder in a favorable light. We all know the history of such beliefs and it will take a long time to civilize such backward peoples. So it does seem that the Palestinians must have right to life protected first in a free zone, then I would have each put up a peace bond to be deducted from for each casualty they cause. This would attrit the ability to spread such a way of life, and gain physically by it. In this position, I think they'll all sit down with their plate-passers and discuss just how much their God is willing to make them pay for murder in his name.
Sometimes I can be a bit ascerbic I admit, and this is a bit off-the-cuff but clearly their is no end in sight under present conditions, and it has already brought this battle to America to neglect or deny it. In saying this I recall that the bombings were executed because the United States insists on giving more and more money (our tax dollars) to Israel the more it kills. We need to get out of it, and if that means saving our dollars for Nations who want to evolve and improve their relations in the world, then so be it.
